Nick Melosi has been studying & practicing martial arts for over 20 years, receiving his first black belt in Taekwondo in 2004. Wanting to continue and expand his knowledge of martial arts, spent several years training & teaching other various styles of martial arts .  Realizing the positive impact martial arts offered to elementary students, via the after school program, Raptor Martial Arts was envisioned and established in 2019.  The school was opened to students of all ages on February 2021 and continues to grow.  Raptor Martial Arts was created as a way to fuse the different martial arts into a more fluid and balanced form of self defense.
